This vibrant metropolis in Negros Occidental is best known for two things: piaya, a flatbread filled with brown muscovado sugar; and inasal, a savory dish of barbecued chicken. Popular among Filipinos, these delicacies have put Bacolod firmly on the map—and have served as a magnet for tourists who might have passed the area by in favor of its better-known neighbors. Come for the food and stay for the heritage, as seen in Bacolod’s ancestral homes and ancient churches that tell beautiful stories of love, perseverance, and the indomitable spirit of the Filipino people.

Bacolod, located in Negros Occidental, Philippines, has a rich history that dates back to the Spanish era, which was driven by the flourishing sugar industry. The city offers visitors the chance to step into the past with its well-preserved colonial mansions, providing a vivid glimpse into Bacolod's colonial life.
Perfect for history and culture enthusiasts, Bacolod boasts the iconic San Sebastian Cathedral, a 19th-century Roman Catholic centerpiece constructed from Palawan's coral stone. In addition to its historical significance, Bacolod's city square features The Bandstand, established in 1926, adorned with inscriptions honoring renowned classical musicians such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Wagner.
Delving deeper into Bacolod's historical tapestry, the ruins of Talisay City, situated between Silay and Bacolod, stand out. These ancestral homes, dating back to the turn of the century, are recognized as among the world's 12 most captivating ruins, with at least 31 officially designated historic buildings.
One notable example is the grand residence built by Sugar King Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson in memory of his Portuguese wife, Maria Braga. It was once the largest dwelling in the area. Explore Bacolod's history through its colonial architecture and prominent landmarks, offering a captivating journey into the city's vibrant past.
